Convicts stay the way they were born

There is a live-bearer that can do it but I forget which.

Swordtails can change sex as they get older.
I think that all clownfish are male, except for the largest fish which is a female. Take that female away and the next biggest fish becomes the female. Feel free to correct me if this information is not correct.
Not sure of any others.

I'd heard of some harem african cichlids doing this, but I'm pretty sure convicts don't.
